UWI CAVE HILL CAMPUS CELEBRATES ITS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY !
In the academic year 2012/2013 The University of the West
Indies at Cave Hill marks 50 years of service to the people of
the Caribbean and beyond. The vision of the Prime Minister
of Barbados, the RT Excellent Errol Barrow and his
colleagues, and the leadership of the UWI has been largely
actualised, as the Cave Hill Campus continues to contribute
considerably to national and regional development and
transformation. Now the most regional of Caribbean
campuses with a vibrant international dimension, Cave Hill's
mission is to drive the modernisation process of its
stakeholders as they seek greater competitiveness and
sustainability. We take this opportunity to thank all our
communities and partners who have made this contribution
possible, as together we imagine an even greater future.

EBCCI STARTS CINEMA CLUB!
The EBCCI as the Creative Arts Hub of the Cave Hill Campus
aims to engage and celebrate the creativity of our students
and Barbadians alike through the arts. This year as we
celebrate our 5th and the Campus’ 50th we launch our EBCCI
Cinema Club. The aim of the EBCCI Cinema Club, our
tentative name, is to provide for persons in our community
to have the opportunity to see and discuss interesting,
enjoyable and thought provoking short and feature films from
our up and coming student greats registered at the EBCCI and
some of the masterful films we are aspiring to create some
you may know, others you will come to love! At our bi weekly
screenings, patrons will be able to see some of the films
lecturers feel you shouldn’t miss and we challenge you to
come and find out why those films are considered important
to any filmmaker, buff or connoisseur. As we launch this new
initiative, not only will you have the opportunity to give us a
name, but there will be opportunities for you to select films
and lead discussions. This semester’s Film Curator is Film
Lecturer Ms. Tania Hoser. The Film Club screenings start
Wednesday February 13th 2013 at 8p.m. with a film by BFA
Student Rotchelle Gibbons and the Valentine’s special; The
Invention of Lying (2009). It is difficult to select a film for the
night before Valentine’s Day but this sly, funny, thought
provoking and romantic film fits the bill perfectly, written by
Matthew Robinson and Ricky Gervais and Starring Ricky
Gervais. Thanks Tania!
